Chapter 1069 Midnight Sleepwalking

I saw a figure dressed in black walking through the mist with a long sword in hand.

Ah Ling looked at this familiar figure and didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.

No matter which ethnic group there are good and bad, the same goes for the human race. Ah Ling has met all kinds of people along the way, but most of them are just honest and ordinary people.

There is no doubt that good Qin Shu is a good person. This is the second time she has come to save her, but this time... there are six monks.

Two of them are still in the Nascent Soul stage.

The six people on the opposite side didn't expect that this water spirit actually had helpers. Judging from the looks of it, his cultivation should be quite high, and... he was also a swordsman.

Ah Ling sent a message to Qin Shu and wanted her to leave quickly, but how could Qin Shu listen to her?

The opportunity to fight that she finally came across was really rare. She had no conscience, and she hadn't sparred with anyone for a long time.

Qin Shu stepped forward, waved her sleeves, and threw A Ling out.

Three of the monks wanted to catch up, but were stopped by Qin Shu with her sword.

"Want to chase her? You have to pass my level first." Qin Shu said in a deep voice.

"You want to stop six of us alone? You are overestimating your capabilities."

Qin Shu didn't understand how they could talk so openly without knowing each other's cultivation level. She sneered, "Who is it that overestimates one's ability and makes two excuses?"

As her words fell, the coercion around her escalated again. The expressions of the six people changed drastically, and they all made their seals. The sword array under Qin Shu's feet also burst out with bright light at this moment.

The aura on Qin Shu's body changed, and the water mist that originally enveloped the surroundings evaporated in an instant, and the vigorous fire aura around her burned.

Someone among the six people opposite seemed to notice it, and immediately exclaimed, "You...are you the one who made alchemy in the central teahouse that day?"

Qin Shu snorted coldly and responded.

But the other party seemed to have discovered some secret, "It's you! You also need the heart of the water spirit! That's why you came to snatch it from us, right?"

Qin Shu glanced at the six of them and said: "I not only want the heart of the water spirit, I also want the water spirit! If you insist on fighting with me, then don't blame my sword. ruthless."

Six people were also hired. They originally thought that this time the plan was perfect. The intention to catch and dig out the water spirit was a sure thing, but who would have thought that there was also an alchemist who had the idea of ​​​​this water spirit. .

The most outrageous thing is, who would have thought that an alchemist could have such combat power?

Alchemists have always been known to be weak, but this one is actually a swordsman?

Judging from her level as a seventh-level alchemist, she is at least in the out-of-body stage, and a swordsman in the out-of-body stage... Just thinking about it makes people feel numb.

The six people didn't hesitate for long before they simply gave in and retreated.

They just use people's money to do things for others, and there is no need to lose their lives for this money.

Seeing them slipping away, Qin Shu put away her sword and turned around to chase A Ling in the direction he left.

A Ling was flying towards Linxian City. She received instructions from Qin Shu to go to Linxian City to move reinforcements.

However, she had just flown for a short time when she noticed a fluctuation behind her.

There was a thump in her heart, and she was worried that someone would catch up with her. When she looked back, she found that Qin Shu was already standing beside her.

"Shu Shu?! Are you so fast?"

Qin Shu nodded, "They saw you running away and had no intention of fighting with me, so they dispersed. I was worried that they would be bad for you, so I wanted to catch up and have a look."

Qin Shu said it in an understatement, but now that Ah Ling has been walking in the world for more than 20 years, he is no longer as simple as before.

She took a deep look at Qin Shu and said to her, "Thank you very much for today."

Qin Shu raised her lips and smiled, "You're welcome, you helped the human race, and I helped you again. This is cause and effect."

Ah Ling chuckled, her brows relaxed, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

"I can't go to the fishing village anymore. I think it's time for me to leave here," Ah Ling said.

Qin Shu said, "There are quite a few people looking for you these days. Why don't you just follow me first? As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Staying in Linxian City at this time is actually the safest. ”

Seeing that A Ling was still hesitant, Qin Shu continued: "You should also help me. I picked up a sea monster from the sea in the past two days. She was injured and needs a lot of water during the recovery period."

After hearing what she said, Ah Ling thought about it and finally agreed.

Qin Shu quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she finally agreed to go back with him.

Nowadays, there are many people outside who are looking for her. By following her, they can also protect her.

Qin Shu gave Ah Ling the transfigured Yingluo she was carrying, watched her change her appearance, and followed her into Linxian City.

The two of them arrived at the inn, and as soon as they walked out of the room, the door of the next room opened and a little head poked out.

It's Hexin.

He Xin glanced at the figure following Qin Shu, her beautiful brows furrowed again, and asked her: "Shu Shu, why haven't we seen each other for two days, and you brought a girl back?"

Don't blame He Xin for having wild thoughts. Even if Qin Shu brought a few male cultivators back, she wouldn't be so surprised.

Qin Shu shrugged, "A-Ling is an old acquaintance. We happened to meet each other today, so I brought her back with me."

When He Xin heard that they were old acquaintances, he didn't say anything more.

Qin Shu first took Ah Ling to visit Ah Shan, the fish demon who was recuperating. Ah Shan was now in a deep sleep.

For their demon clan, the best way to recover from injuries is to sleep.

The pill Qin Shu fed her before leaving was slowly exerting its medicinal power in her body, and she felt very comfortable in the warmness.

The only bad thing is that this place is still a bit dry. If she could soak in the water, she would definitely be more comfortable now.

However, even so, she was very content.

Qin Shu pushed open the door and saw Ah Shan who was sleeping. She gave Ah Ling a look and whispered to her: "This is Ah Shan, she is a fish demon. Now she can't go back to the sea for a while, and needs a lot of water vapor. After thinking about it, I'm afraid I can only ask you for help."

As she spoke, another dead wood spring hit Ah Shan's abdomen, and the green wood spirit gradually melted away, and Ah Shan's frown loosened a little.

Seeing this, Ah Ling burst out a cloud of water mist from her body. The fine water mist squeezed into the room and was completely blocked by the protective shield.

In just a moment, the water spirit in the room was already so dense that it was suffocating, and Ah Shan's expression became more and more relaxed.

Qin Shu walked over and fed her a pill to nourish her blood and qi, and then led Ah Ling out.

"The rooms in the inn are quite tight these days, so you can live in the same room with me. Don't worry, I just need a place to meditate." Qin Shu said.

She didn't believe that she could be attacked by someone with Ah Ling.

Ah Ling knew Qin Shu's good intentions, so she nodded and agreed.

The Kunpeng domain on Qin Shu's body was always open, covering Ah Ling.

In her domain, it was impossible for anyone to detect Ah Ling's existence.

Ah Ling felt a sense of water enveloping herself, and looked at Qin Shu in surprise. Seeing that Qin Shu looked normal, she didn't ask any more questions.

One of them was on the bed, and the other was on the couch, meditating separately without disturbing each other.

This continued until the early morning, and before dawn, there was a sudden noise in the room.

Qin Shu subconsciously opened her eyes and saw Ah Ling getting off the bed and walking barefoot towards the door.

Her movements were a bit strange, and every step seemed to have been measured, and the length was exactly the same.

Her steps were also very slow, and even the movement of opening the door looked a bit unnatural.

It was as if she was... sleepwalking.

What was going on?

I heard that you can't wake someone up when they are sleepwalking.

Qin Shu didn't dare to say anything, so she followed her and watched her leave the room.

Then, she opened the door of Ah Shan's room next door.

Qin Shu frowned, what was she doing?

Was it unintentional or intentional?

Qin Shu followed her into the door and watched her walk slowly to Ah Shan's bedside.

Qin Shu's heart was in her throat. If she made any move next, she would definitely take action.

However, Ah Ling did not make a move and stood by Ah Shan's bed for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, and her whole body turned into a ball of water mist, suspended in the air, emitting a faint water light, leaving colorful light and shadows on the walls of the house.

In this ball of water mist, you can see a group of dancing ice crystals, emitting a weak and attractive light.

Qin Shu guessed in her heart that this should be the legendary water spirit heart.

And this ball of water mist should be Ah Ling's original form, but she still didn't understand. Ah Shan, who was lying on the bed, didn't seem to move at all, and didn't make any moves to hurt Ah Ling.

How could Ah Ling suddenly get up and come to Ah Shan's room and turn into her original form at this time?

At this time, a transparent bone on Ah Shan's neck suddenly floated up, looking crystal clear.

A large piece of water mist in the room suddenly surged, forming a large vortex around the bone.

Qin Shu touched her chin with one hand, looked up at the bone and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that...the two of them actually have some origin?

As the vortex spun faster and faster, the transparent bone gradually fell on the Water Spirit Heart.

The Water Spirit Heart was like a ball of jelly that wrapped the bone around.

After an unknown amount of time, the sky outside the house gradually brightened, the light on the Water Spirit Heart dissipated, and the mist in the house gradually fell back and gathered lightly on the ground to form the shape of A Ling.

From beginning to end, the bone never returned to A Shan.

Qin Shu, who witnessed all this, frowned little by little.

This was bad. She had good intentions, but who would have thought that A Ling would actually absorb a piece of A Shan's bone?

What on earth was this bone? She had never seen it, nor had she ever heard of it.

Fortunately, she had foresight and recorded all this with the photo stone, otherwise she really didn't know how to explain it to the two of them.

Seeing that the two had no intention of waking up, Qin Shu was too lazy to bother anymore and simply sat cross-legged in the room.

It was not until the sun was high that Ah Ling woke up first.

She sat up and looked around in confusion, as if she didn't understand why she was here.

Finally, she found Qin Shu sitting cross-legged beside her.

"Shu Shu, why am I here?" Ah Ling asked.

Qin Shu didn't say anything, but silently took out the image stone and placed it in front of Ah Ling.

A stream of spiritual energy fell on it, and the picture on the image stone slowly appeared in front of the two.

Ah Ling looked at this incredible scene, raised his hand and touched his heart, turned his head to look at Qin Shu in surprise, and asked, "What's going on? What is that bone?"

Qin Shu spread her hands and said, "I don't know either."

Ah Ling was talking when she suddenly stopped. Her eyes gradually became blank and she didn't move for a long time.

Until Ashan opened her eyes on the bed, she saw two more people in the room, and the expression on her face did not change at all.

It wasn't until he saw Qin Shu's expression that he couldn't explain anything that Ashan asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Shu shook her head and took a look at what happened on the recording stone.

At this time, Ah Ling had not yet recovered, and Ah Shan raised his hand and touched his neck.

The room was extremely quiet. Qin Shu didn't know what to say. This was really strange.

After a long time, Ashan spoke first.

"This bone was picked up from the bottom of the sea when I was very young... It was buried in the sand and integrated with the sea water. If I hadn't been chasing after another fish, I wouldn't have discovered it at all. it."

Ashan thought about the past, and his face looked a little sad.

She quickly continued: "It is a transparent bone. I thought it brought me good luck, so I kept it with me. In fact, I don't know what kind of bone it is and what its function is." "

After saying this, her eyes fell on A Ling beside her.

"Perhaps this is what you humans often call cause and effect. I have carried this thing all my life, and now I have met its real owner."

Qin Shu looked at Ashan. Her temperament was too peaceful, not as sharp as a demon cultivator.

Looking at her was like looking at the great monk of Putuo Temple, with a look of no desire or desire.

One person and one fish waited for about half an hour before Ah Ling came back to his senses.

She looked at Qin Shu with complicated eyes.

Qin Shu was puzzled by her look and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

Ah Ling shook his head, "I seem to have...an extra memory."

Qin Shu raised her eyebrows, curious, "What memory? Your memory is incomplete?"

Ah Ling still shook his head, his brows knitted into knots.

"My memory is complete, this memory is like... suddenly extra..."

Large pieces of debris in the air smashed into the sea water with flames, and the sky seemed to have a hole. Groups of human beings were tied into a long string and walked into the sea water one by one.

The scene suddenly stopped at this point, and Ah Ling felt a sharp pain in her head. She raised her hand to hold her forehead and shook it.

Qin Shu raised her hand and put it on her shoulder, "Don't think about it."
